manufactorer vs reseller

[Running Wolf]

I'm just wondering the thoughts on folks who have done the DIY stuff.

I'm wondering if it's better to go to a reseller or buy direct from places like LorAnn for the flavors? Do the manufacturers have minimal quantities that you have to order? Would rather try to get from one or two suppliers rather than 3 or 4 and take a hit on shipping costs.

I know you have to get the nic juice from someone else. I can also pick up VG and PG locally and save on the shipping.

I order all my flavorings direct from LorrAnn and Naturesflavors,

Howdy and thanks. Philly burbs, used to live down by the Philly airport (Ridley Area).

Now I have to try to decide what sort of flavors I want to try to experiment with. I know one manufacturer I was asking said to go with their coffee flavoring line. *lol* just when I start to get a handle on the hardware of vaping I am going into a new area I need to research.

I use The Perfumers Apprentice and Flavor Art for flavorings. Flavor Art has some pretty good tobacco flavorings in my opinion. I usually use their "Cowboy Tobacco" @ 2 drops per 5ml in all my juices. Cowboy is a pretty light flavor and doesn't overpower my other flavors.

I purchase Perfumers Apprentice direct.
I purchase Flavor Art from Ecig Express. Ecig Express has always given me great service.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

sometimes you can get it cheaper than what the original company sells for

ie:
LorAnns sells an oz of flavoring for 5.50

this site sells some for 4.50 with a flat rate shipping of $4.95
Netrition's LorAnn Oils Prices

they also have capellas for cheaper as well.. $1 cheaper per oz
Capella Flavor Drops

Oh cool, now I have to hit some places and do some shopping around

I've been thinking of hitting a chocolate store in town and seeing if they order the flavors. Thinking if they order enough for wholesale pricing and get the stuff coming in regularly enough might be able to toss them a few bucks extra for helping me out and still get the stuff cheap. But can never seem to get in town at a normal hour when they are open.... trying to figure out a few angles on this whole DIY stuff.
